AI is the forefront of a completely new UI for computer technology whether people have learned that yet or not. It’s not just applicable to engineers. It creates a new sort of calculator, albeit one more prone to errors in current form than a TI84 calculator.

Addiction may or may not exist, but if it exists I believe it to be a control structure that so many find themselves within, myself included. I haven’t thought long enough or hard enough about this part: obsession so called compulsive patterns exist but for a reason, they tend to soothe an anxiety and that compulsory pattern that seems to be the issue just tends to provide relief, albeit temporarily. Same with so called addictive patterns. They just happen to be the relief we use to ease some sort of internal or external problem and the pattern don’t tend to benefit us in the long run. There’s a book called the Freedom Model that has nothing to do with NOSTR or Bitcoin and yet I find many overlaps. Time preference, sovereignty, questioning existing teachings and structures. In the Freedom Model there is a concept that one is responsible for and is actually in control of their self destructive habit. We in some form know the cost whether we acknowledge it or not the whole time when we have a self destructive pattern. The book talks about mindset adjustment and changing views on what we see as valuable, and the so called path out of “addiction” is basically through changing one’s mindset on what they see as worth their time. #bookstr #freedom #asknostr #sovereignty #questionthenarrative #meditation #addiction #timepreference #mindset #nostr

Journey down the rabbit hole begins.. Bitcoin is about hype but one must find for themselves beyond the confirmation bias that “well yeah the tech does what people say it does” https://fountain.fm/episode/rbYLlMgybR9fYEHy5kmz View quoted note →

Openclaw is cool and I’ll but in my experience so far it’s either a money pit if using the good models that it works well with or using the free your cheap models. The functionality seems fairly limited. Does anyone have experience in setting up an open claw instance, successfully using free or local models? #openclaw #clawdbot #llm #asknostr

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYjt88zq4g How realistic is this guy’s views in “a few years”? I think it is an important innovation in terms of solving many problems we have but I think inevitably we will reach a plateau again of more problems to be solved that AI is unable to within science fields. I’m skeptical all diseases will be able to be cured for example but tend to think it will reach many advancements as a result of making thinking efficient through data centers and AI innovations. #asknostr #llms #ai #future

Less X more books and NOSTR. Less screen time and more chill in the moment boredom. It’s almost like we’re conditioned to think that boredom is bad now.

With BTC failing to rise as quickly as my expectations, it’s a great time to ignore bitcoin price for a while and focus on life and building something I’ll be proud of. Bitcoin is just money ( hard money but it’s not everything) #bitcoin #proofofwork #nostr

AI much like social media and the internet has two sides. One is very good in the sense that it can bring useful knowledge to use quickly and efficiently, but on the flip side we can also become too reliant on it to the point where we’re handicapped without it. But there can be such efficiency gains to be had that perhaps using it in everyday life for most things that maybe the tradeoff is worth it? One of my friends was weirded out by Jordi Visser’s use of the term relationship with AI and he is fixated on that as opposed to seeing the efficiency gains that Jordi Visser’s talks about on Pompliano’s podcast. Opinions on AI/ relationships? I think my friend is correct in saying it’s not a relationship as it’s an interaction with a computer but he fixates on something that is tangentially unimportant in the context of efficiency gains to be had. #asknostr

Can’t make this shit up. How TF is blockchain related to Walmart. Inefficient as F for their produce tracking. Even has a bitcoin logo in it

When discussing ideas like what is Austrian economics and anarchocapitalism and Jeff Booth’s type stuff where the true nature of a free market is deflation, and we’ve never lived in a truly free market etc. with my family and or friends they are open to hearing the ideas up and to the point where they start saying the typical the anarchy can only exist for a minute in time before more government is formed ( which in the sense of some organizational structure that sets rules I.e. a government forms I agree with) but also that through a government a free market is allowed to exist( through maintaining a monopoly on violence to enforce patents etc. Definetely not bearish, just realizing we are super early, I think we have a long ways to go before people realize the good side of deflation and the nature of having a free market economy. Call it Stockholm syndrome?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my fellow hodlers of digital hard money. #2026iseminent #NOSTR #Bitcoin
